Critic Reviews

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    This is a family movie on a grand scale, enhanced by lush cinematography and throbbing music, with a minimum of dialogue and an endless assortment of thrills.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    Noteworthy because it represents a kind of fevered moviemaking insanity that we rarely see these days.

  • Alan Niester, Globe and Mail

    The kind of movie that kids used to flock to on Saturday afternoons in the forties and fifties.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    ... one of the most amazing animal adventure fables ever captured on film.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    I would have gladly volunteered to lead all the tigers participating in this movie directly into the wilds, just to stop them 'acting' in this slow-moving, heavy-handed drama.

    Sad yet cute. Entertaining yet stupid. Feeling good vs plot cliches. I'm not quite sure what to say. I feel stupid if I give it a positive review, but I don't think it's a bad movie per say.

  • Mike N


    I had a pretty profound thought earlier today, but it was kinda depressing. Seemed to make a lot of sense too, at the time anyway. Now my mood has floated from the depths back to the surface, and it's not worth really dwelling on any further. ...Fascinating, isn't it?… More
